Before Using the Product Restrictions ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A has restrictions on the types of PCs and boards that can be used. Be sure to check the following restrictions before use. < Restrictions of PC > ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A uses the switch fabric to extend the bus. The PCI boards plugged in PCI slots in the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A are recognized if the switch fabric is recognized as the PCI-to-PCI bridge by the BIOS in the PC used. Ask the PC vendor for whether the BIOS recognizes the PCI-to-PCI bridge. < Restriction on power interlocking > Power interlocking does not work well if the PCI bus slots on your PC do not conform to PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.2. Ask the PC vendor for whether the PCI bus slots conform to the specification. When power interlocking is not needed, the expansion chassis can be used without it by changing the setting of the expansion bus adapter in the chassis. For details on setting up, refer to Chapter2, “Setup”. < Restrictions on transfer rate > When the expansion chassis accommodates a board that performs high-speed transfer such as bus mastering, the overall transfer rate may be lower than that of PCI bus slots in the main unit of a desktop PC. This is caused by bus extension by the PCI-to-PCI Bridge. The transfer rate may vary with the system configuration and the type of the PC. < Restrictions of PCI board > None of the following boards can be plugged into any expansion slot in the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A. - Video display board (VGA board) - Board to connect a PCI bus expansion chassis - Board explicitly stated not to be used with the PCI-to-PCI Bridge Some boards, even PCI-compliant ones, may not work depending on their specifications ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A 3 1.

ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A 15 2. Setup Step 5 Setup and Check Starting the system The ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A is turned on and off in sync with the PC’s power supply. When the PC detects the expansion adapter, the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A is turned on. Turning on the system (1) Plug the power plug of the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A into a wall outlet. You do not need to press the POWER switch on the front panel (*1). (2) The power supply of a PC is turned ON. (3) As soon as the expansion adapter is recognized by the PC, the ECH(PCI)SFH4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A is turned on automatically. (4) Make sure that the POWER LED on the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A and the LINK LED on the RJ-45 connector is on. Turning off the system (1) The power supply of a PC is turned OFF. (2) The ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A is turned off in synchronization with the PC’s power supply. *1 Pressing the POWER switch on the front panel of the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A turns on the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A or puts it to sleep. Use the switch, for example, to turn on only the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A. CAUTION - Do not turn on or off the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A with the PC main unit powered. Doing so cancels the detection of the bus adapter. When turning the expansion chassis on back, restart the PC main unit. - If you turn on the PC after turning it off, keep a time interval of at least 10 seconds in between. If the power OFF-to-ON interval is too short, the expansion chassis may fail to be turned on. 16 ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A 2. Setup Setting up the hardware in Windows Upon startup of Windows, the switch fabric devices used by the expansion adapter and the expansion chassis are detected as a PCI-to-PCI Bridge and Other PCI Bridge Device in sequence. PCI-to-PCI Bridges are recognized automatically by a Windows standard driver but Other PCI Bridge Devices are not supported by any Windows standard driver. Therefore the Other PCI Bridge Device requires an INF file before it can be recognized correctly. (Note that the expansion chassis works normally even without the INF file.) After that, the PCI boards installed on the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A are detected in sequence. For setting up and checking the boards used on the expansion chassis, refer to their respective manuals. Checking the hardware in Windows You can use Device Manager to check whether the ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A has been identified in Windows. Device Manager shows “PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge” under “System devices”. The ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A in use can be identified with the number of "PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge" entries. If the number of “PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge” is not sufficient, or the boards on the expansion chassis are not recognized, restart Windows. They may not be recognized without restarting. Two entries: Three entries: Five entries: ECH(PCI)SF-H4A ECH(PCI)SF-H7A/F7A ECH(PCI)SF-H13A/F13A Figure 2.11. Sample screen shot of Device Manager (ECH(PCI)SF-H4A) CAUTION The expansion chassis does not depend on the OS in use. ECH(PCI)SF-H4A/H7A/F7A/H13A/F13A 17 2.
